Cash for Clunkers

Posted in at 1:17 am by Administrator

President Obama’s “Cash for Clunkers’ will end this week, if it hasn’t ended already. Unless you’ve been hiding in a nuclear shelter, you probably heard about it: a person trades in their old gas-guzzling truck or SUV for a smaller and more fuel efficient vehicle. Personally, I think it’s a great idea. It can help stimulate the growth in sales for fuel efficient cars. They should also offer tax breaks for these buyers. The same as Bush’s policy of giving tax breaks to those folks who bought Hummers, but I prefer Obama’s take on it. After all, I’ all about saving oil and the environment.

What bugs me is that I didn’t even know about Cash for Clunkers up until a few days before the initial expiration date. Luckily, it was extended. I heard of it while listening to National Public Radio (I admit, I must watch more TV). The mainstream media should have mentioned it more often like they do with all stupid celebrity divorces that no one really gives a fuck about. Unfortunately, neither me nor my parents were able to get rid of our clunkers. If I get the job I’m looking for, I’ll buy myself a Camaro and I’ll electro-modify it.
